K&N works for me,i've fitted them to all my previous cars,my wifes little 1.6 Fiesta even got one,as for fuel V-power or BP's ultimate are good as each other IMO,i've also got a shell V-power club card that gives me points every time i fill up which gives me money off vouchers which helps when you drive a 850R.

98 ron is the highest octane rating i've seen round here. Is 101 ron petrol legal anymore?
